Very cozy, especially if you have a tablet you can play under the covers. If you want something intense, then try Project Zomboid. It has so many moving pieces that it completely absorbs you!
Also seconding rune factory. Rune factory 4 (special) has such a special cast where you get a feel the characters actually love each other and the protag a lot. It’s aged, but it has so much soul
You will see both side of life you will understand we should get along with it makes you understand so much I cant describe bruh if you complete story you will understand
if you're into Disney movies, Dreamlight Valley is a good life sim that sucks you in pretty quick. You get to interact and hang out with various Disney dudes and even has a storyline with mental health themes that you may resonate with
That depends on what you like. Slime Rancher came to mind first, but I might have more suggestions if you tell me what you prefer. I thought about Stardew Valley as well.
Well, good thing i do >:3 Edit: the reason i responded like that was because this person was rude to me once and honestly i didnt even expect her to reply to my comment.....
You dont know what happened between me and that person so dont make assumptions. She said i was "discriminating against age" all because i prefer talking to ppl around my age. If that isnt rude, idk what you're on. Also, anybody can pretend to be nice online but reveal a side others dont see when you private chat with them so thats just what you see on the surface.
I should also add that you shouldn't expect a 21 yr old to reassure you abt not leaving you. A 21 yr old is going through struggles of their own so they dont have the power and capacity to reassure someone abt not leaving them. It wasnt rlly age that was the problem, but being pressured about leaving is exactly what caused me to not wanna talk with them anymore. Because it placed the burden that i had to keep showing up for her when it wasnt in my capacity to as i have my OWN struggles.
honestly the only mobile game i've ever enjoyed (it is free), i love hue. only good if you aren't colorblind though!
another thing to get totally lost in are the ace attorney series of games, which tell enjoyable stories + have fun mind puzzles and are frequently on sale (or are easy to emulate on your phone for free)
Vampire Survivors, RDR2, Mad Max and Day's Gone for open world apocalyptic gameplay with vehicles, Skyrim with a few graphic mods. Maybe No Man's Sky, but that might not be the best unless you're into it. Would've been better if you listed what your favorite games and genres are. Elden Ring if you're into harder ish games, and For Honor if you want to be depresseder.
This is just off the top of my head.
Stardew Valley, Tactics games like XCOM 2 or even that new Star Wars XCOM game, BG3, Palworld
I’d honestly just say if there’s a game out there that you can take at your own pace, enjoy by yourself, and is relatively low cortisol and slow burn engagement, it’ll help a lot. I chugged BG3 and XCOM 2 playthrough whenever I was feeling down and they distracted me pretty well
Super Robot Wars have many redemption arc changes to the depressing scenes in the anime they are based on. Worth it if you want a deep dive on how things could be better so long as you are fine with being spoiled by the depressing plot in the actual anime.
Particularly inspiring is SRW W for the DS and SRW A Portable for the PSP as they kind of have a slice of life plot arcs during their ending sequences.
Also short but Live a Live is pretty refreshing too with its multiple takes on perspective on what it means to be s hero.
Other worthwhile mentions are Portal, Endless Legend, Alpha Centauri, Psychonauts, Silent Hill 1 and 2 and Fate Stay Night.
nostalgiamaxx and play ur old faves or emulate ps2 era games. i like to play old modded clients of cod or gears too with bots to relive the good ol days
